Simon FormanDon't think of "the homeless" as a group or a class, that's the first step in dehumanizing us. Normal folks want to avoid thinking about how it could happen to them, so there's a strong psychological "force" to perceive homeless folks as "not like us". The simple truth is that there are lots of different reasons why people wind up on the streets.
David Palk#RejoinEU 💖🇪🇺🕊🌈@carapace In my adult life it would be a 50/50 split. I never regarded myself as 'homeless'...I was a 'Gentleman of the Road' when without a fixed abode. Society seemed overly concerned with getting me into 'secure' accommodation. Some of which was little better than a dog kennel. Especially at this time of year I still get 'itchy feet'. I have experienced 'contentment' twice, once under a hedge and once in a cave. Never in a house, church or other dwelling. 🕉️ 💖 #justsaying 🙏
